| Subject: | first engine start oil question |
--> RV-List message posted by: Knicholas2@aol.com
I am about to start my 0-320 for the first time. It has been "pickled" for
eight years and well cared for. I have read the service instructions from
Lycoming and will "pre-oil" as recommended. My question is oil. Since it has
been in storage for so long should I use mineral oil and mimic a break-in or just
use the regular oil.
Thanks for the advice.

List:
Just another heads up on filler cap leaks. I had a leak in both tank and
could not figure out what was wrong with the caps ... tighten ...loosen ... lube
....etc.
Finally a fellow builder suggested that the leak was coming for the filler
neck area and possibly not enough (any?) proseal had been put between the
reinforcement plate for the filler cap and the top of the wing skin.
I put proseal around the top of the filler neck where it intersects the wing
skin just inside the tank ... problem solved ... no more leaks !!! The fuel
had acutally been splashing up between the plate and top skin and coming out
the tank giving the appearance of bad caps !!!

My engine had been overhauled several years earlier so I drained it and
refilled with Aeroshell W-100 oil. I took out the top plugs and rotated the prop
by hand until I got oil pressure reading. I went ahead and rotated it for 20-30
revolutions and then I just started it.
I only ran it to check for any leaks and a couple of taxi tests and then full
power for the first flights. Oil consumption stabilized after 8-10 hours and
it is doing fine.
My opinion only.

Kim,
Go with the mineral oil.
Could also use Phillips XC that has a minerial base.

I gave what I could afford. I am reminded of this with today's mail, when I got
a tax receipt back from the organization. Maybe now is the time for anyone
who has been procrastinating, to donate. My 2 cents for a worthy family and cause.

Kim:
If the engine has not been run before (or not since overhaul) use the break-in
oil. If it was pickled after it was broken in you don't need the break-in oil.

I try no more than 25 psi.
Higher causes lots of skip and bounce........

Wheeler,
Thanks for the update on the Trio autopilot.
You talk about intercepting the localizer. I couldn't find anything on the Trio
web site about connecting to the +/- CDI signal from a nav receiver. Did I
miss this, or are you actually intercepting a GPS version of the localizer track?
Regards,
Chris Good,

It will only take a GPS signal.
